what does it mean to buy an app? expected behavior for price changes? (garmin monetization general questions)

(1) A user buys an app, does that mean the user can install the app on as many garmin devices within their account as they want? Or are they buying it specifically for one device?

(2) A user buys an app, when the app gets updates in the future, is the user able to download the update without buying again?

(3) A user buys an app, later the price of that app increases. Does the user still get free updates for the app? Or do they have to buy again at the higher price to get new updates?

(4) A user buys an app, are there any circumstances where the user would have to buy the app again?

  • Ok I have official answers from ConnectIQAppAdmin! Pasting Below:

    (1) A user buys an app, does that mean the user can install the app on as many Garmin devices within their account as they want? Or are they buying it specifically for one device?

    > The purchase is per account, so the user can install on any compatible devices they have associated with their account.

    (2) A user buys an app, when the app gets updates in the future, is the user able to download the update without buying again?

    > Yes, users receive updates for any purchased apps without the need to purchase again. Purchased apps work just like free, installed apps in the regard.

    (3) A user buys an app, later the price of that app increases. Does the user still get free updates for the app? Or do they have to buy again at the higher price to get new updates?

    > The user would receive free updates and would not need to purchase the app again at the higher price.

    (4) A user buys an app, are there any circumstances where the user would have to buy the app again?

    > If the user requests a refund within the 48-hour refund window, they would need to re-purchase the app if they decided they wanted it at a later date. Otherwise, once an app is purchased and not refunded, there is not a situation where a user would need to re-buy the app.
